It would be fun to believe that NYC is capable of disabusing itself of car usage, but everything that has happened in the past 15+ years proves that it isn't.
Now that's just being dumb. Any one who's been to the city over the past decade can see how dramatically the city has changed the streets, especially in Manhattan where lanes and even whole streets have been taken over by plazas, bike lines, and mid-street parking. The more you speak on it, the more its clear you clearly don't know what's going on.

The MTA began its construction on the block of Park Avenue between East 47th and East 48th Street. That block will be the first along the avenue to feature a wider median when the street is restored as early as 2025.
